United States Ninth Circuit


Sharp III v. County of Orange, 15-56146

Partially affirming and partially reversing district court decisions that properly denied qualified immunity and state-law immunity claims raised by police against retaliation claims by a man, Sharp III, who was confused with his son, Sharp IV, at the time of an arrest and search, but reversing the denial of immunity claims as they related to Sharp's mother's retaliation claim and both parent's claims relating to his seizure, excessive force, and the search of his person and the home, which was warranted despite being largely unconstitutional.
